Mark your calendar: iPhone 5 release date is out

Speculations on the iPhone5 release date continue with a UK-based tabloid now claiming that the Apple’s new phone will be released on September 21.

The Daily Mail reports that the specific release date was leaked by a Chinese source to a French website called App4Phone.

The launch date for the new iPhone has remained a subject of serious speculation with sources first claiming an October release, but later advancing it by two months to August before setting a September-October deadline again.

It has been reported that the manufacturers have already started the production process of iPhone5 . According to Digitimes quoting industry sources in Taiwan the work is already on in factories in China.

Most of the rumored reports however indicate that the new phone will have a larger screen with in-cell touch display technology that would make the handset thinner compared to the previous model.

It has also been almost confirmed that the new phone will have a smaller 19pin dock connector and charging port.
